UniFi Network Upgrade Unboxing & Installation

UniFi Network Upgrade - Unboxing & Installation
In this new video series I am going to be upgrading my UniFi Network so that it future proofs it some more so that I can take advantage of fast increasing internet provider speeds and with more and more devices supporting 2.5Gbit networking.
In this first video we are going to be doing some unboxings, go through the specs and install my new UDM Pro SE, USW Pro Max 16 Etherlighting switch and U6 Lite wireless access point.
Here are the links to the device specs in case you want to take a look yourself.

Why not use a DAC cable for uplink instead of SFP to Ethernet? Cheaper and lower power usage.

[@MrTimTech2022]

Yes I could, however the DAC cable would still have SFP+ connectors on each end wouldn't it. Plus I have struggled in the past to find a very short DAC cable which looks neat & tidy, I've ended up with excess cable loops with DAC cables, anyone know of very short DAC cable suppliers ?

[@John-ml4pr]

@@MrTimTech2022 it is SFP+ but it’s passive, meaning less power draw which equals less heat and longer life. Ubiquiti sells a 0.5m for $13(I don’t know the cost there). I’m not saying there is anything wrong with your setup, just that for shorter distances, DAC is the preferred method.

The audio is a little poor on this one buddy. Found it difficult to listen to.

[@MrTimTech2022]

@kentish_outdoor2335 - Yes it wasn't up to my usual quality, apologies for this. Hopefully I can improve it on my future vids. So yes I agree and appreciate your constructive comment 😇. I think it was my post editing and maybe interference being next to the cabinet from the wifi mics I used. Will certainly look in to this when on my next recording session!
